There's nothing quite like a face-melting barrage of lasers from 250km away, and judging by the Oracle, the Amarr Navy seems to agree. This Attack Battlecruiser has a weak tank, like its comrades, the [[Tornado]], [[Naga]] and [[Talos]]. However, it has the guns to meet the damage and (most importantly) range of anything short of the capital-sized beasts of lowsec. Because of their weak tanks, the Oracle and its buddies are often sniper fit to avoid close quarters confrontations. | There's nothing quite like a face-melting barrage of lasers from 250km away, and judging by the '''Oracle''', the Amarr Navy seems to agree.

Unlike the other attack BCs, the Oracle can also fit pulse lasers and use Scorch ammo and kite at 60km. This allows high damage and good tracking, while still remaining out of range of most ships with medium weapons. Loading Multifrequency and brawling is an option but usually a last resort for pulse Oracles, making a shield tank for speed the more usual choice for this setup, though pulse armor Oracles are not unknown. | Unlike the other attack BCs, the Oracle can also fit pulse lasers and use Scorch ammo and kite at 60km.
